J.W. Counter Builders Supplies 94 Alban St. (Hwy. No. 4) - Clinton - 4824812 Agricultural Tidbits . . with Adrian Vos Sometimes people tell me that pork is not as digestible as other meats. Well folks, it's all in your mind, for you are talking about old time pork. The new lean pork is different. Listen to John D. Lane of the US Meat Board. "Official nutritive values for pork currently used by government, in- duetry and scientists in nutrition field.were developed under a Meat Board research grant back in the late 1950's." Since then, says Lane, "industry hai made giant genetic and management strides resulting in substantial improvements in pork eating quality and nutrition offered to the consumer. "Today's pig has more meat on it than even the "ideal" porkers used in the original research, work at the Oklahoma State U., about 17 years ago." Mind you, that's American pork, ours is considered to be even better. Dr, Usborne of the University of Guelph gives some figures on the quality of pork as compared to some other meats. Calories: pork 310, beef 385, lamb 390; Protein: pork 25.9 per cent, beef 20.6, lamb 22.5; Fat (per cent); pork 22.8, beef 33,3, lamb 32.1. All micro-nutrients such as iron and other minerals, as well as vitamins, compare favourably with the other meats. So don't, give me that old argument anymore. If you do, you are set in your ways. Now that I'm on the subject of pork I may as well tell you now that pork producers are in the same boat with the beef men. We are lucky if we break even on the cost of produc- tion, It seems that farmers felt what was coming and held Off from great sudden production increases,. If it had gone as in, other years when production increased sharply When the price was high, livestock men would be in very real trouble right now, It seems more likely thet we will be choked slowly this time around. Whatever the forecasters say, (they sometimes sound like fortune tellers), I am not very op- timistic about farm income from livestock in the neltt year or se. If I'm right, and I hope not, I agree with Mr, Gracey of the cattlemen that farmers will go out of livestockprodue, lion, which will bring sky high prices in a few years. That way nobody wins, not, the farmer nor the cenaurner. ihatrnottyoungc When it comes to buying that first diamond, most young couples don't even know where to start, • You might start. th em out with this book, It's called "The Day You Buy 13 Dia4, trioncl:' and judging from the initial re- sponse,one thing is pretty t ertaint It's quite little idebreaker, The big reason, of course, is that it covers just about everything•two kids in. love need to ,klaitiW about diamonds. o ndS could fill a boo Ittells wh'diamonda cost What the'y.F , It tells about . cut.
